Artistic when it comes to life and Jesus Christ, a goad when it comes politics, this blog meanders over the boulders of strong opinions and lazily laps at the banks of pleasure in words, beauty, and dream-like visions. The length of the average post may be long or short, and most are written with music in mind.

my little scribbled notes after a commute

Probably the most enjoyable thing about commuting to UofL for me this semester has been listening to the Life of David series by Mike Bickle. Tonight was session no. 14, the cave years. A few lessons I took from listening during tonight’s commute: 1) Too much prosperity often ensnares and ruins the

Mercy floods the morning

I need Thee every hour, precious Lord and Savior. Thy Sun that rises in its strength today has reminded me That Thy mercies have not yet failed, And You still live. Long may You live, O King hidden from my eyes. Vanquished are my foes on every side. Ten Thousand have fallen at my right [...]

Ziggurats, Ladders, and Abraham

Abraham left Iraq for a reason: He was looking for a city whose builder and maker is God. Babylon, with all of its hanging gardens, towers to heaven and fortified walls, meant nothing to Abraham. Abraham was not waiting for Babylon. He was waiting for the New Jerusalem. It is not comfortable living

Love revisited

Reading John Piper’s blog today proved gold. God sends 9 year-old sons to lay bare the weakness of a father towards his wife. Impatience. That’s all the 9 year old son saw. But it was enough to provoke this question: “Dad, does God want you to treat mom like that?” Immediately I thought of Francis [

On Oct. 4 I will vote for love

The Bible says that God’s love is better than wine. If you don’t believe it says that, read J. Hudson Taylor’s commentary on Song of Solomon 1:2 in his book Union and Communion.

Jesus, Justice, and Malachi

I got Shelley Hundley’s book “A Cry for Justice” when it first came out a few weeks ago. I was privileged to have Shelley as a teacher in my Sermon on the Mount Practicum. Sadly, I was in a state of distress as I went through that class, so I was unable to receive all [...]

I got beat by a 7th grader…

I need grace to enter into humility and walk the paths of righteousness. Here’s my story: Yesterday I took an exam on the central banking monetary policies of the FED and the ECB, with half the exam covering the past two month’s worth of Wall Street Journal articles covering the Euro crisis tied to

Why are strong men slain by a harlot?

The harlot in Proverbs 7 says to the young men who are simple and devoid of understanding: “I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you. Come, let us delight ourselves with love until morning.” Here we have an obviously ‘attractive’ woman searching for young men willin
